[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a high income poster who posted early on.  I am a little curious about the “everyone’s doing it” poster about rich people and fillers etc.  I am certainly not doing this and I don’t think many of the people I know are.  (There are some I can kind of tell do it because they sometimes show up for the Saturday Soccer games puffy in the 11s, if you know what I mean.). I think our monthly self-care budget is more like $150-200 or so a month.  (i actually usually just cut my kids hair in front of a movie because it looks better, and takes so much less time than going to some kids place.). I spent $200-300 every 2-3 months on a cut and color with tip.  My spouse and kids are considerably less!  If you are a woman you gets a weekly manicure (like some I know in NYC), I can see it all adding up quickly.  And I’m really astounded at home much the Botox stuff costs—I just can’t justify spending that much on something like that, no matter how many millions we make.

Also, as an aside, I have no problem with adults who have challenging jobs outsourcing work like cleaning, etc.  But I think it’s developmentally inappropriate for kids not to do chores around the house.  One nice thing about the pandemic is we now have our kids vacuuming and scrubbing the toilets—an excellent life skill!

Have you done it? Once I had started at a good place (ie. natural look), I never looked back. Most people would never guess because I'm pretty low maintenance with my clothes, look. But boy do I value efficiency and this is just simply the most efficient return for the time/money spent.[/quote]
